[rec.ham-radio.packet] plexus p/35 unix box help

 Can I run SLIP (TCP/IP ?) on this box?
 Also is there a newer version of KA9Q?  I want to hook this thing
 up to my Amiga.  Where would be the best place/person to get
 info/programs on using SLIP?

 Hi.  I am about to acquire a PLEXUS P/35 68000 based UNIX box running
 Sys V.2 (yech, I know 8-).  I have several questions.
 
 1:  Can I get something akin to DNET to compile on this beast?
 2:  Can I get an ethernet board for it?
 3:  It has 8 serial ports, so I'm hoping to get SLIP on it.
 4:  Any other info anybody may have about this box.
 **** 5:  Can SLIP run on it?
 6:  Any way of adding sockets to V.2?
 7:  Anybody got a cheap big SMD drive to sell?
 8:  Easy and cheap way to move up from V.2?
 9:  Any other interesting info, please?

 I know that DNET won't compile since V.2 doesn't have sockets.
 
 			Thanks, Ralph
